In Hazārāspī's fight\[260\] he got in one challenge with his fists in Sl. Abū-sa\`īd Mīrzā's presence at the Gate of Balkh. He was a brave man, continuously serving the Mīrzā (Maḥmūd) and guiding him by his counsel. Out of rivalry to Khusrau Shāh, he made a night-attack when the Mīrzā was besieging Qūndūz, on Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā, with few men, without arming\[261\] and without plan; he could do nothing; what was there he could do against such and so large a force? He was pursued, threw himself into the river and was drowned. Ayūb (\_Begchīk Mughūl\_)\[262\] was another. He had served in Sl. Abū-sa\`īd Mīrzā's Khurāsān Cadet Corps, a brave man, Bāīsunghar Mīrzā's guardian. He was choice in dress and food; a jester and talkative, nicknamed Impudence, perhaps because the Mīrzā called him so. \[Sidenote: Fol. 29b.\] - [Previous: 900.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.3) - [Next: 900.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.5) - [Up: 900.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.4) · Pramāṇa
